TDE: play-testers for twitch version wanted inquire within

yeso

Defending when the guess is known:

2:20PM - Captain guesses: Kirby Air Ride
2:45PM - Yeso: Defend v Captain

Kirby’s Air Ride is correct! Captain receives 0.5 Points

Defending prior to guess with opportunity to Steal with a Correct Guess:

11:15AM - Yeso: Defend V Captain

4:20PM - Captain (3 point shot) guesses: Kirby’s Air Ride

Guess is Correct! Captain receives 2.5 points. Yeso receives 0.5 Points (Steal)

Defending Prior To Guess with incorrect Guess:

4:21 PM Yeso: defends against Captain

4:22 PM Captain guesses: Kirby Air Ride

Incorrect! Yeso is penalized 0.5 points

My thinking is that, if a player is pre-emptively defended and confident of their guess, they can either take reduced points, wait a turn until they’re no longer defended, or submit an intentionally wrong guess and essentially take a half point from the defender. That might be worth doing, but opens the possibility for another player to submit the correct guess

seasons

What happens in a double team situation? Can multiple players defend the same player?

yeso

Snowdecahedron yeah I guess we’ll see what happens with the defending rules. I was hoping to provide some way to mitigate the F5 advantage. At the very least it should be annoying

Snowdecahedron maybe it would be better if the rounds were always 8 or 6 hours long

I feel like we can negotiate this with some communication and common sense, and depending on who’s in the game maybe a particular game will stick to regular 8 hr intervals, but that might also slow things down needlessly. We’ll see how it goes

seasons double team situation

No double teams, only 1 v 1 defending.

captain

All is clear, thank you

Snowdecahedron

2:20PM - Captain guesses: Kirby Air Ride
2:45PM - Yeso: Defend v Captain

Kirby’s Air Ride is correct! Captain receives 0.5 Points

I think it would feel pretty bad to be Captain in this situation, having the correct guess but getting reduced points because Yeso managed to defend before the game master announced Captain’s victory, if I understand correctly.

Also, maybe it would be better if the rounds were always 8 or 6 hours long, so the time they start is the same each day. In the current implementation seems like you have to be online really often to check whether a round has ended and you can guess again.

yeso Each ROUND consists of the length of time it takes all active players to GUESS or ASK A QUESTION, or an eight (8) hour window.

This is not extremely relevant because I assume most rounds will end after the eight hour window has passed but in case not, how are we definining who are the active players?

yeso

穴 anyone who participates at any point is an active player

yeso I’m fine with anything really - you’re the commissioner. Was just selfishly realising that 10pm-6am basically prevents me from taking part. Anything that pushed things earlier (or later) by even a couple of hours would be great for me, and I assume other euro people.

Your alternative schedule would work for me, but does it mess things up for other people?

yeso

billy

So let’s do 2:00PM Central / 8:00 PM GMT / 5:00AM Japan Standard tomorrow. I don’t there’s a fully convenient time option but I think it’ll work out and we can always course correct

yeso

Also, if people want to toggle the setting for email notifications, I can tag everyone for a heads up when the next round will be posted

rejj

Is there a strong reason for limiting to 8 hours? I feel like that is guaranteed to screw a timezone up somewhere, no matter where you try to place it. 12 hours, while slowing everything down potentially by an extra 50%, probably overlaps enough around the globe to not exclude anyone.

That being said I think I want to participate but I am not afraid to admit that holy heck I am intimidated by that first post and am not sure I really grok it all. I see it has been edited a lot and I’ll need to go back and re-read it anyway.

Funbil

rejj holy heck I am intimidated by that first post and am not sure I really grok it all.

This is the case for me as well - though for me, learning by example tends to make things like this easier! I plan on sitting out the first round and seeing how things go, then jumping in once I see how everyone else handles it all.

yeso

I guess 12 hrs would be OK. My thinking was to limit slack time if we’re waiting on for example one person to take action.

And the rules are going to make sense once the game starts we’ll all figure it out together

dylanfills

yeso I guess it isn’t all that high stakes, but maybe a null round would help everyone calibrate to the rules?

yeso

dylanfills No. Immediate Chaos

dylanfills

yeso fair enough
